This book addresses one of the most persistent issues confronting
governments, educations systems and schools today: the attraction,
preparation, and retention of early career teachers. It draws on
the stories of sixty graduate teachers from Australia to identify
the key barriers, interferences and obstacles to teacher resilience
and what might be done about it. Based on these stories, five
interrelated themes - policies and practices, school culture,
teacher identity, teachers' work, and relationships - provide a
framework for dialogue around what kinds of conditions need to be
created and sustained in order to promote early career teacher
resilience. The book provides a set of resources - stories,
discussion, comments, reflective questions and insights from the
literature - to promote conversations among stakeholders rather
than providing yet another 'how to do' list for improving the daily
lives of early career teachers. Teaching is a complex, fragile and
uncertain profession. It operates in an environment of
unprecedented educational reforms designed to control, manage and
manipulate pedagogical judgements. Teacher resilience must take
account of both the context and circumstances of individual schools
(especially those in economically disadvantaged communities) and
the diversity of backgrounds and talents of early career teachers
themselves. The book acknowledges that the substantial level of
change required- cultural, structural, pedagogical and relational -
to improve early career teacher resilience demands a great deal of
cooperation and support from governments, education systems,
schools, universities and communities: teachers cannot do it alone.
This book is written to generate conversations amongst early career
teachers, teacher colleagues, school leaders, education
administrators, academics and community leaders about the kinds of
pedagogical and relational conditions required to promote early
career teacher resilience and wellbeing.
